    Default 10 of my favorite AMIGA games. Name yours?

    Top 10 AMIGA games. Well, certainly such lists are subjective and I am not saying all or any were exclusives, indeed some may have been better or more popular elsewhere but my fond memories of them originated on AMIGA so simply I will name 10 games that I highly enjoyed going back to those may years ago when I had original Amiga hardware. I will go with -


    1. Lemmings
    2. Stunt car Racer
    3. SkidMarks
    4. Turrican
    5. The Chaos Engine
    6. Battle Squadron
    7. Zany Golf
    8. Zenon II Megablast
    9. The Secret of Monkey Island
    10. Flashback


    To be clear, this was literally the first things that sprang to mind off the top of my head and could likely change dramatically from moment to moment and I could literally think of dozens if not hundreds more and that is not even including various PD / Shareware / Demos and well if I am honest tons and tons of pirated titles I traded for back in the day. Was such a wonderful platform.

    Haven't played enough Amiga yet to really comment, it's fairly new to me but I've played some stuff recently I really like Shadow Of The Beast games and the Zool games. That Lionheart game from Thalion is good too.

    Psygnosis, Thalion, and Gremlin titles so far have been fantastic.. also Rainbow Arts with their Turrican games.

    oh yeah, and Superfrog!

    Currently looking to trade for Magical Chase any version, and especially Dynastic Hero USA version. I have Samurai Shodown V Special MVS, lots of other MVS titles, and tons of games. Check out my profile over at http://gametz.com/user/greedostick.html if you are looking to get rid of one.

    Time for me to be slightly controversial, although not in any real order:

    1) Turrican 1
    2) Sensible World of Soccer '96/'97
    3) Fantasy World Dizzy
    4) Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe
    5) Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
    6) Worms
    7) IK+
    8) Rodland
    9) Archon
    10) D/Generation


    You'll notice no Turrican 2 on there. I have a really hard time with Turrican 2. Love the music, graphics and gameplay for the most part... but that STUPID FREAKING BOUNCE GUN.

    I hate that bounce gun.

    Holy crap. It's been a while.

    • Dungeon Master
    • Lotus III
    • Populous
    • Lemmings
    • Cannon Fodder
    • Flashback
    • Chaos Engine


    Not the best games on the system... but the ones I remember the most fondly. I love Monkey Island, but I never played it on the Amiga so that association never stuck with me.

    Pirates!
    Mega lo Mania
    Turrican
    The Chaos Engine
    Power Monger
    Defender of the Crown
    Populous
    Cannon Fodder
    Conflict: The Middle East Political Simulator
    The Keys to Maramon

    Archon and Seven Cities of Gold nearly made my Amiga top 10 list but I enjoyed the C64 versions more. However, they are still great games that I play on my A500.
